New Temperatures of Diffuse Interstellar Gas: Thermally Unstable Gas
read the original abstract
We present new Arecibo 21-cm line measurements of the temperatures of interstellar gas. Our temperatures for the Cold Neutral Medium (CNM) are significantly lower than previous single-dish results and in very good accord with theoretical models. For warm gas at T > 500 K, we find a significant fraction of gas (>47%) to lie in the thermally unstable region 500 ---> 5000 K; moreover, about 60% of all the neutral atomic gas has T > 500 K. Large amounts of thermally unstable gas are not allowed in theoretical models of the global interstellar medium.

Gas accretion onto the Milky Way: high-velocity cloud survival and the revival of the terminal-velocity paradigm
Terminal velocity is a local, conditional equilibrium for Milky Way high-velocity clouds: dense clouds fall quasi-ballistically, adiabatic clouds break up, and radiative cooling can restore terminal-like motion.
